Grandpapa Addams Comes to Visit is the sixth episode of The New Addams Family. It is a remake of the original television series episode "Happy Birthday, Grandma Frump".
Summary
Grandpapa Addams comes to stay with the family while they rebuild his neighborhood. The family knows he still misses his late wife, Delilah, so they make arrangements to surprise Grandpapa with a gift of two weeks at Club Dead, a swinging resort for singles over 50. Grandpapa finds out but mistakenly thinks he's being sent to a nursing home so then tries to prove his youth to the family and pretends to be 50 years younger. This causes Morticia to think he's losing his mind, so she calls a nursing home. Meanwhile, Pugsley explains the misunderstanding to Grandpapa, so he eagerly goes with the attendants, thinking they're taking him to the resort.
